Chapter 162: Let’s Go Home
A tense silence hung in the air despite Alexander’s confident declaration. Doubt rippled through the crowd, and skeptical murmurs spread like wildfire.
"That can’t be Alexander Lancaster. Look at him!" one woman whispered harshly.
"Are we really supposed to believe he’s Liam Rock Lancaster’s son?" another muttered, eyeing Alexander from head to toe.
"But look at his clothes... Despite the dirt, isn’t that polo shirt and those pants from a high-end brand? And those shoes..."
"Don’t you know there are plenty of knock-offs now?"
Rain struggled to suppress another laugh at the ridiculousness of their comments, finding humour in the absurdity of the situation.
Dina once again seized the opportunity, her sneer quickly returning. "Don’t be ridiculous. Judge Darwin can’t even see properly without his glasses, and Sebastian isn’t confirming anything either," she spat, clinging to her denial. "This man can’t possibly be Alexander Lancaster."
Rain, unfazed by Dina’s desperate attempt to turn the crowd against them, let out a sigh. Her eyes glinted with a calm determination as she gently grabbed Alexander’s arm.
Before, Rain had no intention of wasting energy on these people. All she wanted was to leave quietly with Alexander and her Aunt Melanie. But something shifted—she suddenly found herself in a mischievous mood. Her spirits were lifted the moment Alexander stood tall and declared not just his real name, but proudly announced to everyone that she was his wife.
